Cargo Ship at Sea (2)

Xue Lan kept hiding in the dark. He understood this map well. If he used the patrolling of the fish zombies to his advantage, he could avoid the other players’ detection.

And at this moment, he saw the opportunity had ripened. He adjusted his gun and rushed out of his hiding place.

A player who had just crossed fires and was recovering his health heard the sound of footsteps and quickly broke off the injection. He lifted his gun intending to shoot in the direction of the footsteps, but the other party had shot him leaving him with only a fraction of HP.

The difference in chip skill and energy was not obvious in normal teams, but when facing alone, this kind of difference especially stood out.

He quickly retreated to the shelter behind him.

Unexpectedly, Xue Lan seemed to have guessed his movements. After the shot, he immediately withdrew his gun and quickly crossed the barrier. The same time the person went to hide, he went around the other side of the shelter and shot again!

The enemy’s health was immediately rid of.

Xue Lan’s eyes were gentle. He hid in the shelter behind him again.

A low curse sounded with the slam of the keyboard in the survival match venue, but there was a stretch of surprised gasps in the viewing area.

They might not have paid attention to Xue Lan’s marksmanship earlier, but now all of them looked at Xue Lan.

This sort of control… was it really out of blind luck?

These two gunshots and the spectators’ reaction raised the other three’s vigilance. The three who were shooting simultaneously withdrew to their shelters and restored their HP using the injection.

Xue Lan put away his gun and did not interfere with the three’s battle. Instead, he turned away and ran toward another location where the sound of gunfire still continued.

Then with the same move, fired at the edge of the head, then fought in the net gunfire location.

During the whole process, his expression stayed calm like at the start of the match. It was as if he was not playing an important match and rather was like the practice he had done multiple times.

The person who stood beside Wen Yan and carelessly watched the match had turned serious at one point.

Xue Lan destroyed the enemy one by one. At last, only three people remained in the whole game including him.

At this particular moment, the people who were standing in the viewing area had gone behind Xue Lan. All of them held their breaths as they watched the unpredictable survival match, wondering what shocking reversals would happen again.

The game had reached this point. The strength of the other two people were both outstanding.

Xue Lan became more cautious. While the three of them detoured, he and another sniper finally took the lead and fired.

Luckily Xue Lan took the initiative first, finishing the opponent in a few shots, but his own health also met the bottom.

After the opponent was down, Xue Lan first hid making his way to the compartment’s stack of paint buckets and used the health injection behind the complicated shelter.

He changed his viewpoint. He did not dare to lower his vigilance for even a moment.

In this kind of dilemma between three people, the first to face the opponent would be in the most unideal situation. From the sudden irreversible shot and the clash between the two people, the third person would be able to spot their position from the sound of their gunshots. The last one would reap the benefits.

So he did not dare to lower his vigilance for even a moment.

After he used the injection, his health rose to 32%. This was an extremely dangerous amount, which meant that there was a possibility for the enemy to kill him in one shot.

He remembered the other party… was also an assaulter.

If that was the case… there was only one option left.

……

“This Deng Ruiqiu… I heard the Thunder Team keeps getting in touch with him in private and issued a very high price, but unfortunately, he refused and came to the training camp.” Wen Yan’s teammate watched the other surviving assaulter and muttered, “… However, we also can’t be the pot calling the kettle black, after all isn’t Duan Wenzheng also the same?”

“Not the same.”

Wen Yan’s response surprised him, but before he could say anything, he heard a cry from the crowd— the two quickly returned their attention to Xue Lan who was tightly circled by the crowd in the training room.

Xue Lan threw a smoke bomb along the passage leading to the deck and soon after, quickly rushed up. The two assaulters met head-on at this moment!

The other party actually blindly opened fire among the layers of smoke. Just this blind shot hit Xue Lan who was shuttling back and forth among the smoke. Xue Lan’s health instantly reduced to—

0.4%

Such health amount, any shot that would scrape him could kill him immediately.

Everyone who wanted him eliminated collectively gasped. They had forgotten how they had ridiculed him earlier and wished him to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Luckily, after this shot, Xue Lan charged into the stacks of boxes on the deck.

The other assaulter called Deng Ruiqiu closely followed him as he came out of the shelter. With only a fraction of his health remaining, Xue Lan was definitely hiding at someplace to restore his health. With victory so close, he crept toward Xue Lan’s hiding place.

But when he reached behind the container where Xue Lan was supposedly hiding at, before he could see the situation in front of him, he heard a bullet splitting through the air flying toward him—
